As the price of freight rises airline are announcing cutbacks in flights. More places that can't be reached by air = a shrinking hobby.
Its sad to see the airlines shoot themselves in the foot by raising prices on some links. South America and the Caribbean almost all freight is south bound. Many times from Haiti I have the only North bound freight on American. They just raised the price 0.5 a lb +++. We have started using freight airlines that come back empty and are happy to sell what space they can. Looks like a bost to the online dealers that use Fed-ex
